Domestic properties are put into one of eight bands (A-H) depending on the price they would have sold for in April 1991. Even if the property did not exist then, it is valued on what it would have been worth.

The council tax bill for your property is based on which property band your home is in.

In 2018/19, our council tax charge has increased by 5.99 per cent compared to 2017/18.

This increase is made up of a 2.99 per cent increase for general services plus a three per cent rise for adult social care services.

The Council has charged an adult social care precept on council tax of 2 per cent in 2016-17, 3 per cent in 2017-18 and 3 per cent in 2018-19. The amount for the adult social care precept on your 2018-19 council tax bill is the cumulative charge made since 2016-17, however the percentage increase shown on the bill of 3 per cent relates to 2018-19 only. The Council are required by Government to present the adult social care amount and percentage increase in this way. This is the reason why the adult social care precept on your 2018-19 bill may seem higher than expected.

The Secretary of State has set the percentage that council tax can be increased without a referendum as 5.99 per cent. Three per cent for adult social care and 2.99 per cent for general spending. This means we do not need to hold a referendum.

Adult social care provides care for older and vulnerable people (such as people with a learning or physical disability) in their own homes, or in a residential or nursing care home.

The government recognises that due to the numbers of people living longer with conditions that require some assistance with daily living, the cost of providing adult social care across the UK is rising.

To help local authorities, like us, generate funds to pay for adult social care, the government introduced an additional council tax charge in 2016-17. This is called the ‘adult social care precept’ and must be shown as a separate amount on your council tax bill.

Adult social care precept increase

The increase in the adult social care precept follows the central government ruling that allows local authorities to raise up to 3% specifically for adult social care in any single year, subject to a maximum of 6% over a three year period.

Statement concerning adult social care funding

The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government has made an offer to adult social care authorities. (“Adult social care authorities” are local authorities which have functions under Part 1 of the Care Act 2014, namely county councils in England, district councils for an area of England for which there is no county council, London borough councils, the Common Council of the City of London and the Council of the Isles of Scilly.)

The offer is the option of an adult social care authority being able to charge an additional “precept” on its council tax for financial years from the financial year beginning in 2016 without holding a referendum, to assist the authority in meeting expenditure on adult social care. Subject to the annual approval of the House of Commons, the Secretary of State intends to offer the option of charging this “precept” at an appropriate level in each financial year up to and including the financial year 2019-20.

Police, fire and rescue

Your council tax bill includes a charge for police, fire and rescue services. We are required to collect this on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside and Humberside Fire and Rescue. You can find out how much of your council tax money is required to provide their services and how the money will be spent in their precept leaflets:

Town and parish councils

Each town or parish council provides a different level of service based on the individual requirements of the area it serves. This means they are responsible for setting their own budgets and each year they make a request to us to include a charge for their services in your council tax bill.

This charge is known as a 'precept' and the precept for the town or parish council you live in is shown as a separate item on your bill.

Town or parish councils that have a budget of £140,000 or more must provide us with detailed budget information and how they are going to spend it. You can access this information below:

Special expenses

Special expenses are charges for services we provide, such as maintenance of parks, open spaces and closed churchyards, which in other areas of the East Riding are provided by town and parish councils. If you want to find out about the special expenses relevant to the area you live in, see below:

The money requested from us in 2018/19 is £0.192m in total. In 2017/18 it was £0.188m. This change reflects the impact of the government spending review and the national prioritisation of capital projects.
